    it was the same last year.

    who gives a rats about it anymore. it's just mainstream music for inner city hipsters these days. Nothing Alternative or underground about it any longer.

    next year's line-up is probably the most alternative i've seen for a while, it's just that there's not many good bands playing.

    very disappointing as 2013 was supposed to ease the backlash from this year's bdo.

    one thing i will say about this line-up is that they've definitely made an effort to go alternative after all the complaints about how "mainstream" this year's line-up was. maybe they've gone a little too far in some respects as they don't have many cross-over artists, e.g. jebediah, frenzal rhomb, foster the people etc., on the bill.

    Either 2000 (Headliners Fooies + RHCP) OR 2004 (Healiners Metallica + Muse) IMO were the best years of BDO

    Correct. There were a bunch of great ones back in the day but couldn't honestly say one was better. It was more about seeing bands you'd never really heard of, them scampering out to waterfront or utopia store the next day to try and find their cd's.
    Sadly with the Internet etc it's hard not to have a pre conceived idea about bands before you see them now, which makes BDO's these days a totally different experience.
    Sadly the worst thing that ever happened was moving out to Homebush (and yeah I know there was no other option).

    +1.
    God bless the good old days.
    what totally turned me off the BDO (last one I went to was the year after the Limp Bizkit one) was having to train it home. Bouncing home through Sussy Hills and along Oxford street after a massive day just kept the fun going.
    Lining up for trains kind of killed that buzz.
    Sad, I think I'm old now.

    Not even sold out yet....In previous years when they go on sale at midnight, people are struggling to get them come 12:30 and the sold out banners are up by morning.
